HAWSE-PIPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 30, 1917, Serial No. 165,471. Renewed April 27, 1918. Serial No. 231,279.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY W. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Whitehall, incthe county of Muskegon and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hawse-Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices for lining opening in a vessels bow, stern or sides to facilitate the passage of hawsers or cables therethrough, and its object is to provide a simple and cheap device of this kind which canbe easily fitted to suit dilferent kinds of vessels. 7

The object stated is attained by means of a novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed; reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification.

- In the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of the invention;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof; and

Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing a slight modification.

Referring specifically to the drawing, 5 denotes the deck, and 6 one of the sides of a vessel. The invention is shown applied to this part of the vessel, but it will be understood that it may also be applied to the bow, the stern or any other portion of the vessel from which a hawser or cable is to be run.

In the deck 5 is an opening 7, and the side 6 has an opening 8, and between these openings extends a hawse pipe having flared ends seating in the openings.

having their adjacent ends coupled by a sleeve 10, the pipe ends being oppositely threaded as shown in Fig. 2, so that they are drawn together when the sleeve is turned.

The flared ends of the pipe sections 9 are Copies of this patent may be obtained for The hawse pipe is composed of two or more sections 9.

opening and positioned obliquely so that it projects downward and sidewise in the direction of the side opening 8. This extension is tapered, its Widest portion being where it joins the floor plate. .The upper pipe section 9is connected to the lowerend of the extension, the upper end of this pipe section being enlarged slightly to partly spherical form, or flared, as shown at 13, and the lower end of the extension being shaped to fit around the same, whereby endwise sep. aration of the parts is prevented.

Over the opening 8 is mounted a plate 14 having a tubular extension 15 passing inward through the opening and pointing upward so that its inner end may be connected to the outer end of the lower pipe section 19, the connection being made in the same manner as the connection With the part 12.

The parts can be readily assembled, and the pipe sections are held in perfect alinement and tightly fitted to the parts 12 and 15 by drawing the sections together by means of the sleeve 10.

Fig. 3. shows the end of the pipe section 9 which is connected to the part 12 fitted with a partly spherical retaining collar 16 as a substitute for the flared end 13. The other pipe section will be fitted with a similar collar for connection to the part 15.

I claim:

1. Arhawse pipe having flared end sections composed of plates provided with tubular extensions, the ends of the pipe being flared for connection to the extensions, the outer ends of the extensions fitting around said flared ends.

2. A hawse pipe having flared end sections composed of plates provided with tubular extensions, the ends of the pipe being flared for connection to-theextensions, theouter ends of the extensions fitting around said flared ends, the pipe being composed of alined sections having their adjacent ends oppositely thread-ed, and a coupling sleeve mounted on said threaded ends of the'pipe sections.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

HARRY W. YOUNG.
